Komodo dragon guarantee
See a Komodo dragon, or we refund you
In mating season Komodo dragons often hide, and many groups go home without seeing one. Our local guides know where to find them. If you join one of our Komodo trips and do not see a Komodo dragon, we refund you.
Pay on arrival, no deposit. The only Komodo trip operator that lets you reserve eligible trips with zero deposit and pay when you arrive in Labuan Bajo. No transfer to a stranger before you have met us.
Owned by a Komodo Island native, not a reseller. Arah Pesona is run directly by Akbar, born and raised on Komodo Island. You deal with the owner and his own team, not a reseller in another city who passes your booking on.
See a Komodo dragon or get a full refund. Our local guides know where the dragons are in every season. If you join one of our Komodo trips and do not see a dragon, we refund your trip in full. The terms are confirmed in writing when you book.
A real office in Labuan Bajo. Kampung Air, Jl. Soekarno Hatta, Labuan Bajo. Walk in before you book, meet the team, see the boat photos and pay at the desk if you prefer. We are a registered local company, not a WhatsApp number only.
The boat you book is the boat you sail. Every sailing trip is confirmed by boat name and cabin type in writing before you pay. We never downgrade a confirmed cabin or swap you onto a different boat.
Park fees and documentation included on most trips. National park tickets, ranger, snorkelling gear and drone or GoPro documentation are included on most packages. The price you are quoted is the price you pay, with no cash surprises on board.

This is our premium version of the three-day Komodo route, for guests who want more space and privacy. The boats are traditional wooden phinisi built and fitted for comfort: every cabin has its own bathroom and air-conditioning, and the upper deck has a jacuzzi.
The luxury fleet includes YUMANA (32 m, 8 cabins), LAMBORAJO 3 (38 m, 8 cabins) and OCEAN PRO (38 m, 10 cabins). With so few cabins, the boat never feels crowded at meals or on deck.
The route is the same nine stops as our other three-day trips: Kelor, Manjarite and Kalong on day one; Padar at sunrise, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Manta Point and Taka Makassar on day two; and Siaba on day three. All park, conservation and ranger fees are included in the price.

An unforgettable experience that I'll always cherish!
From the very beginning, the admin team was incredibly patient with all my random questions since it was my first time joining an open trip. They were super helpful, explained everything clearly, and made the booking process so easy and hassle-free.
★★★★★
It was truly a wonderful journey with Arah Pesona. We couldn't stop feeling grateful from the very beginning — starting with the special discount promo we received during booking, and then getting a complimentary room upgrade when we arrived on the boat.
The itinerary was perfectly arranged, allowing us to experience the beauty of nature in a more peaceful atmosphere without overwhelming crowds. Because of that, we were able to fully enjoy every destination along the trip.
